Chapter 2627 "I only have one thought right now, and that is to go home!"
"Mr. Ling?"
When Ling Tian appeared at the villa's entrance, Xiao Hei opened the door, saw him, and was slightly taken aback, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Upon seeing Xiao Hei, Ling Tian nodded: "Is Peng Yuchen here? I have something urgent to discuss with him."
"Yes, young master is at home. Please follow me."
Xiao Hei knew Ling Tian and was aware of his abilities, so he didn't need to ask for permission to meet Peng Yuchen. Instead, he led Ling Tian directly into the house.
After entering, the two went to the study on the second floor. Xiao Hei knocked on the door, and after hearing Peng Yuchen's voice, he slowly opened the door, stepped aside and said, "Mr. Ling, please come in. I'll go prepare some drinks for you."
"Okay, trouble."
Ling Tian nodded and walked into the study. Peng Yuchen also turned around and looked over. Upon seeing Ling Tian, he smiled and stood up, saying, "Ling Tian? What brings you here? Didn't you go to see the City Lord? He..."
"I have something urgent to tell you," Ling Tian interrupted directly, staring intently at Peng Yuchen with a serious expression.
When Peng Yuchen saw Ling Tian's appearance, although he was puzzled, he stopped his joking and pointed to the sofa in front of him, saying, "Sit down and let's talk. There's no rush. What happened?"
"Ah."
Ling Tian nodded and sat down, sighed, then looked at Peng Yuchen with a serious expression: "City Lord Peng, do you know Duan Tian's true identity? Do you know who controls the entire Central City? Do you understand this?"
Upon hearing this, Peng Yuchen stared blankly at Ling Tian, then shook his head: "I don't know, Mr. Ling, what do you mean? Is something wrong with City Lord Duan? Has something happened to him?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Tian nodded: "Indeed, something has happened, and it's not a small matter. From now on, I hope you will listen carefully to everything I tell you, because this is a crisis affecting the entire Central Continent, a crisis we must face together, and a crisis we cannot ignore."
"Most importantly, everything I'm about to say is not a joke; I'm telling the truth. I hope you can believe me and stand with me to face and resolve this crisis, understand?"
Ling Tian spoke earnestly, while Peng Yuchen remained puzzled. After a moment, he exhaled and nodded, "Alright! Since Mr. Ling has said so, I believe you won't lie to me. Tell me, what is it that makes Mr. Ling so nervous?"
"Do you know..." Ling Tian hesitated, staring intently at Peng Yuchen: "Duan Tian is not actually human, but a peak-level demon beast, and he is the main planner of this demon beast attack. He wanted to destroy the entire Apocalypse Space."
One sentence left Peng Yuchen stunned. He stared blankly at Ling Tian, blinked, opened his mouth, and after a long while, tilted his head, looking puzzled: "Mr. Ling, is what you said true?"
"Hmm." Ling Tian nodded: "I'm actually no longer at the Celestial Master Realm, but... the Creation Realm."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Tian took the opportunity to demonstrate his cultivation level to Peng Yuchen.
When Peng Yuchen learned of Ling Tian's cultivation level, the latter had no choice but to believe that everything Ling Tian had said was true, and that Ling Tian was not deceiving him.
Most importantly, Peng Yuchen had to believe that Duan Tian really was a monster, and the mastermind behind the monster attacks.
Otherwise, what would a master of the Creation Realm want to achieve by making such a statement?
If Ling Tian coveted the position of city lord, then given his level of cultivation, if he had such a thought, who in the entire central city, no, the entire Tianqi Continent, would dare to disobey him?
After all, Ling Tian had reached the legendary Creation Realm, the highest realm for human martial artists.
It's really unnecessary for a powerful expert of such a high level to deceive himself for the position of city lord. That means that everything Ling Tian said... is true!
In other words, Duan Tianzhen is a peak-level demon beast and the mastermind behind the demon beast attack!
Upon hearing this idea, Peng Yuchen seemed a bit off, his face filled with a complex expression.
After all, this news was just too explosive. Any normal person, any citizen of the central city, would be surprised when they heard it.
Considering Duan Tian's previous appearance, and combined with the so-called mastermind behind the monster attack, this is truly unexpected.
Just as Peng Yuchen was overwhelmed with surprise, Ling Tian looked at him and said in a low voice, "I just returned from outside the city today. When I was outside the city..."
For the next two hours or so, Ling Tian recounted his experiences outside the city.
Before anyone knew it, Xiao Hei appeared beside Ling Tian, listening quietly. Ling Tian naturally had no complaints about this.
After all, Ling Tian could guess that Xiao Hei was Peng Yu Chen's informant. Any useful information from Peng Yu Chen's side would definitely reach the ears of the so-called seven elders. What Ling Tian needed was the help of these elders, as well as Peng Yu Chen's help.
Anyway, once the crisis is over, he will leave the central city. At that time, whether Peng Yuchen becomes the city lord or the elders have other ideas, it will not be a big problem for Ling Tian.
In other words, all Ling Tian needs to do is resolve the immediate crisis. He only needs to deal with the known monster attacks. The rest... can be dealt with one by one.
That's why Ling Tian wanted the support of those seven elders. If they chose to believe in him, Duan Tian wouldn't be so scary. If they cooperated with him, Central City would definitely be able to stop this monster attack.
As expected, after hearing everything Ling Tian said, before Peng Yuchen could speak, Xiao Hei lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ling, I need to consult with the Third Elder about this matter. Could you wait a moment? Young Master, you should also wait for the Third Elder's opinion before making a decision."
Xiao Hei's sudden words brought a slight smile to Ling Tian's lips, while Peng Yuchen nodded: "I understand, go and tell him, but make it clear to him that I believe in Mr. Ling, and that he is indeed at the Creation Realm."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hei hurriedly agreed and turned to leave the study.
Once only the two of them remained in the study, Peng Yuchen looked at Ling Tian, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Mr. Ling, once all the crises are over, are you planning to... play the role of a city lord for fun? Or..."
"I don't need any of that." Ling Tian shook his head and turned to look out the window. "I only have one thought right now, and that is to go home!"
